- Break big jobs into stages (demolition, materials, each part of the work) so the client sees the full picture.
- Set out your payment schedule: deposit, progress payments and final payment.
- Say how changes requested mid-job will be priced, so extras don't turn into arguments.
- Note what's excluded, such as plans, council approvals or finishes the client supplies.
What a full tax invoice shows
- The words "Tax Invoice", and your business name, address and VAT number.
- The client's name and address, and their VAT number if they're VAT registered.
- A unique invoice number, the date, and a description and quantity of the work.
- The amount before VAT, the VAT, and the total. Not VAT registered? Call it an "Invoice" and leave VAT off.
